Jenn vs. The Island

by freeandflawed on September 9, 2008

If Music Be, Then I Am tagged me for a meme. Why do so many bloggers not like the word “meme?” I’m gonna keep using it because I have fun saying it. Meme.

So tagging for this meme was based on how badly the poster wanted to read our answers. I was first on the tag list so that must mean she thinks I’ll have some pretty interesting ones. I hope I don’t disappoint her!

You’re stranded on a Desert Island:

1. What one person would you wish was stranded there with you?
Well first how did I get there? I mean, depending on where I was going would probably determine who was going with me. If I were going to Vegas, Jamie or Dan Mega would be with me. But I guess there’s no desert island on the way to Vegas eh? What if I was coming from Australia?! Or would I want to bring someone I could eat should we starve? Does that mean I should always travel with a “meaty” person? This question only stirs up more questions!!

Okay fine…it’s a tie between Tom Hanks and Jack from Lost. Although if procreation is required, I’d prefer Jack.

Hello lover…

2. What one tool would you want to have?
A lighter. No! A flashlight! Wait. Are those tools? Are we including gardening tools? A hoe! I just wanted to say “hoe.” Um…I guess a saw? So I could saw down trees and make my new casa.

3. What one food do you wish you would have an unlimited supply of?
Nachos. Ugh but then I’d be stranded and fat. How about cantaloupe.

4. What one luxury item would you wish for?
Well if I’m stranded on a desert island, normal, everyday things would become luxury items wouldn’t they? So how about tampons? I’m not sticking any leaves up the hoo-ha. Ouch. Did you know that back in the day women used cow manure? True story. Saw it on the History Channel.

5. What one book would you want to have with you to read and re-read?
I’m stealing her answer and going with the complete works of Shakespeare. That would keep me entertained for a very long time.

6. You have one piece of paper, a pencil and one bottle ~ who is the message going to be written to?
Google!!!

7. What skill would serve you best while on the island?
My Lost-watching skill? Stay away from hatches and smoke monsters. Done.

8. How long do you think you could last before needing rescue?
I give myself 8 hours. I could probably go longer, but I’d like to be realistic and underestimate my ability to survive on my own.

9. What one island animal would become your pet?
A volleyball. Well which island am I on?! Is King Kong there?

10. Your island is unknown to you, and you need to give it a name – - what would it be?
England. Is that already taken? How about…wait for it…wait…

The Island! Yes. That’s definitely innovative and original.

11. What would you do to pass the weeks, days, and hours?
Weeks?! I gave myself 8 hours! I guess it would be a good time to learn how to break open a coconut. I don’t even like coconuts. Ooo I could bowl with the coconuts. Who needs a Wii?!

12. You’ve been rescued! What is the first thing you’re going to do when you get back home?
Pee in a toilet
Make a PBJ sandwich.

I hate tagging people because I feel like many dread it. So, if you would like to share your answers, please do so. If not…well, I’m not letting you visit my island.

We would have a ridiculous amazing time in Vegas. No drive thru wedding chapels though!

Another trip somewhere awesome is on our future. No desert islands though!

Are you a Jack fan over Sawyer/Desmond/random other male character? Just curious :)

And now I wish Lost’s new season were on right now…

Here’s to hoping google doesn’t send you back a link to picture of Mr. T or something.

Actually, that’d be pretty cool.

I love that you’d send your letter to google.

And I love that Narm said he’d look at his google reader and scream.

We’re such an internet savy group. :)

The lighter is the perfect answer for the tool. After all fire gives you light, warmth, and food.

Great answers by the way :)

HAHAHAHA I *heart* that you answered this seriously, but also with a heavy dose of questioning the questions — I do the same thing! (But where was I HEADED when the plane crashed?!) hahaha Great post Jenn!

ps — tampons are one of my reasons for never wanting to get into a time machine and travel back in time. :)
